Getting it Right in Iraq (aired 2/9/2006)

Does the U.N. Work? (aired 9/16/2004)
The UN was created in 1945 principally to promote peace among nations. But its role in the 21st Century is unclear. Global terrorism, genocide and humanitarian crises have taken center stage. Critics charge internal corruption and attempts by member nations to use the UN to rein-in the United States, the world’s sole remaining superpower. Would a stronger UN make for a more peaceful world? Or should America be wary about losing its right to act in its own interest?

Zbigniew Brzezinski (aired 9/9/2004)
Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter, has served successive U.S. administrations on foreign policy and intelligence issues. Now a counselor and trustee with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC, he is the author of numerous books including the historic masterpiece The Grand Chessboard, American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives and the just published The Choice: Global Domination or Global Leadership. This week he casts a sharp eye on the foreign policy of George W. Bush: What’s wrong? What’s right?

Henry Kissinger at Large, Part One (aired 8/19/2004)
Think Tank is joined by one of the towering figures of 20th century American Foreign Policy, Dr. Henry Kissinger. He has served as Secretary of State under Presidents Nixon and Ford, as well as National Security Advisor during some of the most tumultuous years of the Cold War. Throughout the past three decades he has played an important role as an advisor to successive US presidential administrations, currently serving on the Defense Policy Board. His thoughts on America’s role in the world, though invariably controversial, are never ignored if not always heeded.

India Ascendent (aired 7/1/2004)
India is the world’s largest democracy with 1.1 billion people. These days India has a vibrant economy and is best known for its advances in information technology and schools that produce world class high-tech personnel. But India has daunting challenges as well. Poverty is endemic despite improvements in recent years. Its bureaucracy struggles with corruption, and a dangerous nuclear standoff with neighboring Pakistan has threatened the entire region. What is in store for India? In the decades to come, could India become the next superpower? And what does that mean for America?
